Conn. Practice Book § 42-50
Motion for Judgment of Acquittal; After Mistrial
Upon the declaration of a mistrial pursuant to
Sections 42-43 through 42-45, at any time after
the close of the state’s case-in-chief, the judicial
authority, upon motion of the defendant or upon
its own motion, may order the entry of a judgment
of acquittal as to any offense charged, or any
lesser included offense, for which the evidence
would not reasonably permit a finding of guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt. The acquittal does
not bar prosecution for any offense as to which
the judicial authority does not direct an acquittal.
